The Newbie and the Problem


My wife can't help herself.  If she goes near the oxymoronic city animal kill shelter, she adds to our home's pet population.  Last week there was a lynx-point Siamese cat there.  Well, now we have more cats than dogs with the addition of GracieGrizelda.


Griz was spayed this week and hasn't emerged from under the bed since her homecoming.  Prior to the procedure, she seemed to be outgoing and friendly but now her personality is a question mark.  Will she become isolated and a virulent Klingon or revert to the nice disposition she previously exhibited?  
Of course, a rescue animal is the preferred way to add to our pet population.  But the crew of the Nargle are a little upset that the latest addition is a Klingon Kat!!!!  Stay tuned for the continuing episodes of the Space Pirate Dogs and the Klingon Kats in their quest for meaning as they travel in the space time continuum........

And then there's the concerns about Leny.  Ever since her bout with seizures, she has been a bit more mellow.  A regimen of Valium and phenobarbital over the last few weeks have had an observable effect on the poor beast-----

Yes, Leny has a monkey on her back!!!!!!!!!!!  Hopefully she will return to her ebullient self after the effects of the prescriptions run their course.  Then let the feline contingent beware---no more scenes like this:

I warned everyone that this was gonna happen. Didn't I warn everyone about this? Yes, I did. I warned everyone about this. And now look what you've got on your hands. Leny Winehouse!

Intervention! Intervention!

Call the Clovis New Journal, alert the camera crew. We have a celebrity scandal in progress!!

Love the new cat and her name. Hope Leny gets better soon. Looks pretty sad.
